The endo on my HMO is apparently not great, so I will have to self refer.

Thank you again, the information you provided has definately opened up my eyes.

A GP has given you those high doses? That is amazing!
(and terrible) Without proper testing?

Good luck to you! Post your updates when you get to see the endo, please, for us.
